A screening application has been submitted to City of York Council to see if the developer needs to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment as part of any future planning application for the scheme.
Last Wednesday (Nov 6), the housebuilder staged a public consultation about its plans at the City of York Hockey Club in Heworth, with staff able to advise people on the proposals.
A public consultation is underway before an outline planning application is submitted “later this year”. The deadline for comments is Sunday November 24.
Taylor Wimpey said on its website: “We are preparing an outline planning application for approximately 380 residential units. The proposed development will provide a variety of new homes ranging from two-bedroom homes to five-bedroom homes with 30% of the homes designated as affordable housing.
“These proposals form the northern part of the Draft City of York Local Plan Strategic Housing Site SS9, a new Garden Village Settlement. In accordance with the emerging planning policy, the proposed development will also feature green open space, community facilities and a retail unit.”
